Old stuff

Apparently the guy who was selling this used to own a bicycle museum. He had several bike related meers, this is one of them. I'd never want to own it, but I can appreciate the incredible skill required to carve something like this.

Tonight's main smoke

Tonight my special Silver Peterson 11s gets a run the silver hallmarks are for 1976.
First off cut some Irish cake nice perfect flake due to my Mc Millan Flake slicer rubbed it out and mixed in Erinmore flake packed it and smoked.
This pipe is so sweet and classy.

GBD Prehistoric Bulldog

If it ever stops raining this will be my next project. Pre-merger GDB Prehistoric shape 549. GBD bulldogs are among my favorite shapes. This one is probably 1960s and should come up a treat. At the moment it is so gunked up that the stem won't go in, hope I have enough pipe cleaners!

Imperial Tobacco Company - Treble prince. This one needs to be polished up, and to have a slight curve put on the bit. This weekend hopefully, if the rain stops. The prince shape is one of my favorites.

Tonight's main smoke.

Might take a while to smoke it so huge enough nicotine in there to kill a horse.

Peterson House Pipes

House pipe

This pipe was given to me by Hootie what a guy.
Its so huge it must be a house pipe i think it will hold about $6.50 worth of expensive Australia tobacco.
Has a shield with letters in it might be F/P and Imported Briar thats it so who knows what it is.
Tonight i will load it up see how it smokes until now it has never been smoked.

Gave it a polish and wax it then i used the Dunhill polishes so it shines like shit on a barn door.

Mix

Ok i just mixed a blend of about 60% Gallaher's plug Irish cake and 40% Erinmore flake.
Cuts back the strong cake and adds the slight fruity topping taste of the Erinmore.
The blend is a very potent mix nicotine wise with a great strong taste.

I need the nicotine hit as i have not been pipe smoking to long and come from cigarettes.

1 of tonight's smokes

Irish cake is great tobacco i can feel the chest hairs growing.
Going to buy another this week.
Hope he has more.
This and Erinmore flake are the only
tobacco's available in Australia i have found so far i would buy twice.

How sad is that.,

Classy Pipes: Peterson silver spigot with lucite bit

Okay, here is a strange one. A Peterson's silver spigot army mount but with a lucite bit. I can't seem to find this model anywhere (with that style of bit). Anyone else have any ideas? AND, how classy is that pipe!
